The Stoneheart Trilogy: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Distressed Damsel]]: When Edie gets captured by the Minotaur.}}

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Edie has this emotion strongly enough to [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slap]] George when he tries to apologize to her.

'''Edie:''' Don't be sorry for me. Don't treat me like I'm soft. And don't like me. }}

* [[Extra-Strength Masquerade]]: Because the regular [[Muggles]] can't see what they wouldn't normally see, anything out of the ordinary they may see is totally ignored.

* [[First-Name Basis]]: {{spoiler|The Gunner}} makes a [[Pet the Dog]] moment when he begins to call Edie by name.

'''George:''' Well, you grow on people. }}

* [[Fish Out of Water]] / [[Naive Newcomer]]: George.

* [[Invisible to Normals]]: The living statues -- the spits and taints. Oh, and the Walker.

* [[Ironic Echo]]:

'''Edie:''' It's 'we' now, is it? }}

* [[Kid Hero]]: George and Edie.

* [[Power Trio]]: Arguably -- George (Superego), Edie (Id), and the Gunner (Ego).

* [[Sadistic Choice]]: {{spoiler|The Walker}}'s deal to {{spoiler|the Gunner}} -- go into battle with no weapons at all... or sealing {{spoiler|Edie}} to a terrible fate.

* [[Say My Name]]:

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Dictionary all the way.

* [[Sequel Hook]]

* [[Ship Tease]]: It's difficult to say because there is no pairing in the first book, but [[Boy Meets Girl|George and Edie]] can easily be paired up because they're both [[Puppy Love|twelve]]. Even one of the Sphinx lampshades this.

'''Sphinx:''' You can take her anyway. }}

** And the Walker too.

** The same could even be said about [[Bodyguard Crush|Edie and the Gunner]], though it's very unlikely. {{spoiler|But Edie seems particularily happy around the Gunner later into the story, even smiling at him (an unfamiliar gesture on Edie that even George notices), and the Gunner is quite protective of her, even risking his oath with the Walker to save Edie from the Minotaur.}}

** This [[Ship Sinking|ship is squarely sunk]] when {{spoiler|George and Edie are revealed to be half-siblings in the third book}}

* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: In ''Stoneheart'', the Gunner blasted Spout the gargoyle to kingdom come. In ''Ironhand'', he's somehow alive again with no explanation whatsoever as to how he came back.

* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Played Straight with {{spoiler|Edie's death}}.
